Warm Audio WA-2MPX

The Warm Audio WA-2MPX is a dual-channel tube mic, line, and instrument preamp inspired by the legendary American tape machine preamp that helped define the sound of classic recordings. Built around an original-spec circuit design, it delivers rich harmonic character and unmistakable analog weight that feels immediately familiar the moment you push signal through it.

Handwired and hand assembled using premium, all-discrete components, the WA-2MPX uses custom-wound, large-core CineMag USA transformers and a tube-driven signal path to bring vintage color into modern recording environments. Whether you want wide-open clarity or bold saturation that jumps out of the speakers, this preamp gives you the control to shape it confidently.

As an authorized dealer, Pro Audio Reserve ensures you’re receiving a genuine Warm Audio preamp backed by full manufacturer warranty and long-term support.

Warm Audio WA-2MPX Tube Preamp Overview

Classic Tape-Era Tone with Real Tube Depth

The WA-2MPX captures the essence of the classic 351-style tube electronics that shaped countless radio-ready recordings. Its tube-driven gain structure adds body and harmonic richness that feels natural on vocals, guitars, drums, and keyboards.

From subtle enhancement to bold coloration, this preamp lets you decide how much character you want to commit on the way in, making it a powerful creative tool during tracking.

Flexible Gain Structure for Modern Sessions

Warm Audio stayed true to the original circuit while adding features that make the WA-2MPX far more adaptable in today’s studios. The tape saturation switch lets you fine-tune harmonic density, while the classic tone switch adjusts mic input impedance for additional color or microphone optimization.

With up to 70dB of gain, or 90dB when High Gain is engaged, the WA-2MPX easily handles low-output microphones, including passive ribbons, even on quiet sources.

Warm Audio WA-2MPX rear panel XLR and TRS connections

Built for Hybrid and Professional Workflows

Each channel includes mic, line, and instrument inputs, along with balanced XLR and TRS outputs for seamless integration into studio and live rigs. Highpass and lowpass filters help shape sources quickly, while polarity reverse and phantom power keep sessions moving smoothly.

The solid metal chassis, internal universal power supply, and hand-tested construction make the WA-2MPX a reliable front end for studio, mobile, and location recording.

Key Highlights

  • Dual-channel tube mic, line, and instrument preamp inspired by classic 351 circuitry
  • Up to 90dB of tube gain with High Gain mode engaged
  • Selectable tape saturation and classic tone impedance switch
  • Custom-wound large-core CineMag USA transformers
  • Highpass and lowpass filters for fast tone shaping
  • Handwired, hand assembled, and tested in Austin, Texas
